Welcome to Cosplay with Xeno!

Greetings, fellow cosplayer! I am your host, Xeno. This site will show how to sew with the Franken-pattern technique, the process of taking 2 or more pre-made sewing patterns and making cosplay pieces. Some of these tutorials may involve only one pattern, but it's nice to know which patterns would be the closest match, yes? If you are a complete beginner at sewing, I would suggest learning how to read patterns and basic sewing first before trying your hand at Franken-pattern.

A little more about me: obsessions include anime, manga, cosplay, sewing in general, figurines, video games, and corgis. I started cosplaying after I graduated high school and becoming interested in sewing. Also, I have a Welsh Pembroke Corgi that I named Ein, after the corgi of the same name from Cowboy Bebop.
